I think the fallacy is his continuing insistence that there is only one single way to win it all in the NFL. As with most things in the NFL this RB don't matter thing will be cyclical.. Remember when WRs stared to get big and DBs started to get big and teams countered by drafting smaller shiftier receivers.. then DBs got smaller and the cycle started all over again. For years we heard that no NFL rushing champ had ever won a Super Bowl.. In fact I think one had never even made it to one.. then Emmitt broke that seal and won three followed by TD winning two and then Shaun Alexander not winning but getting there. I'm pretty sure Marshawn Lynch was a top 5 back (in performance and pay) when the Seahawks won.. . Sure as I sit here there is GOING to be an NFL rushing leader who is going to land in the right place at the right time and he's going to help his team win a championship or two. And as soon as that happens half the league will go back to drafting huge hogs up front and building around the running game. It might happen here .. because if we get the level of defensive play we are now getting and Dak comes back to the level he was at this team is a serious Super Bowl contender.
That is pretty much spot on with how the league flows for sure, and I agree we can win with this roster and paying who we need to pay. We have to be better at filling holes in the draft and FA, barring major injuries or sudden retirements we are 2 to 3 defensive players away from a solid team on offense and defense.....I know some will hammer me for that but if all the injuries come back we are a good team that needs defensive players up the middle (and a CB) in a bad way.
